Seahawks Nation Rests while the NFC squirms

I could not resist adding a quick Blog Post here about the Seahawks despite the fact that this is a Mariners Blog desperately in need of a facelift much like our baseball team. But for the last few days I have been experiencing something rare and unique in my career as a Seattle Sports Fan ie: sitting on top of the NFL with a 10-1 record and a week off to rest and bask in the attention from the dreaded East Coast Media as the everyone else whines about blow calls by refs, injuries and unfair schedules.

This is a new experience for a guy who has been following the Hawks since 1976 through thick and thin, and though we have had some bright moments I can’t remember a time when we weren’t just considered “Underdogs” playing over our heads but actually the cream of the crop in the NFC if not the NFL at this point in a season. Yes I know we have a huge game against the Saints in 11 days (but who’s counting) and a relatively tough schedule the rest of the way, but I am confident that Pete Carroll and gang will keep their eye on the prize and keep getting better the rest of the season as long as they stay humble and focused.

This season has truly turned into a ” Bucket List” type year that I’m hoping to top off with a trip to NY in early February (already have a plane ticket fyi) for the Superbowl and I don’t care if it’s -2o as long as Russell Wilson and our boys are there. Yes this is a special time folks and definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I’m savoring every hour and I hope you are too. Go Hawks!
